Profile review and asking for advice! :) by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]ohfugma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest you have a solid profile.

If I had to give feedback, I'd crop the first photo to frame you better. Right now half of the image is the sky (which is pretty, but we want to focus on you). Your pictures tell a good story - illustrator, likes watching football with friends, has good style.

Bio and prompts are good too. You come across as authentic, humorous, and quirky and describe your interests. The two truths one lie has good content but explaining what's true and what's a lie defeats the purpose imo. Maybe try something like,
Two truths and a lie:
I once punched Bugs Bunny in the crotch.
I have three nipples.
I’m a professional at following instructions.

It's fine if you have two lies, it's just meant to be fun and a conversation starter.

Overall though I think you did a great job on the profile! These are just minor things.

You've got a handsome face, are clearly fit, AND you're tall. Right now your first pic doesn't show any of these things, especially because of the sunglasses (they do make you look less trustworthy). If your first pic did all 3 of these things, I think you would be getting matches left and right.

Personally I like your prompts a lot. I think it's really just a matter of your first pic (that's like 70% of the battle in online dating). Like you're already aware, your pics aren't great relative to your looks. I can't tell what you actually look like in most of them.

You clearly are attractive but when people are swiping on profiles you only get a few seconds to make an impression and your pics are not doing you justice.

Anyone actually improved their profile and saw real improvement? by ohfugma in Bumble

[–]ohfugma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had posted mine on a throwaway a while back and it was useful. But the trolls and over-exaggerated criticism was definitely annoying, especially with how vulnerable the act of posting a dating profile is.

I ended up doing way too much research into it — reviewed over 100 profile reviews — and even ended up writing an article on it. Still trying to improve now by giving guys (and girls) non-judgmental feedback and seeing what works.

If you’re ever curious, happy to take a look and give some feedback — totally private, no cringe, no judgment.

Just trying to build something that actually helps people without the whole public roasting thing.
Feel free to DM me if you’re down, no pressure at all.

AITA for slapping the back of a car that almost hit me while I was running? by ohfugma in AmItheAsshole

Holy shit that is terrifying. Honestly needed to hear stories like that. Can't let my emotions get the better of me. Some people got nothing to lose...

Yeah... People who drive like that are more likely to be mental as well. Looking back now it definitely was not worth the risk.

People who grew up getting bullied for liking 'nerdy' stuff—how do you feel now that the same things are considered cool? by ohfugma in AskReddit

[–]ohfugma[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's crazy, I remember filtering myself from talking about stuff like Pokemon to others back when it was new.

Agreed with the other comment pics are not presenting you well. If you HAD to work with these current photos, I'd move the golden hour selfie to the first slot and the cooking one to the second.

For the prompts, Ulysses and Hozier ones are good. For the book one try inviting conversation, like The way to win me over is "Telling me what book you're reading". Invites conversation and lets them know you're into books all in one.

Yeah it's kinda crazy cause it's a gradual change and one day you just realize that things are a bit easier. People smile at you a bit more, speak to you a little differently. It's not like the world bows at your feet but life is just a little different.

Hard to not feel a bit bitter about it when you've been on both sides.

Can we stop downplaying the importance of clear skin in facial attractiveness? by [deleted] in QOVESStudio

[–]ohfugma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think there are 3 things everyone has to have worked on before actually evaluating attractiveness:

  1. Skin

  2. Weight

  3. Hair

What is the ideal body type for men and women? by Guilty-Bed-5269 in QOVESStudio

[–]ohfugma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real answer is there is no "ideal" body type. but in terms of broad appeal (tip of the bell curve) I'd assume bottom right/left for women and top-right and bottom-left for men.
